Proposed Berkeley bike park meeting.
https://berkeleyca.gov/community-rec...ity-workshop-2
The conceptual design should serve for mountain bikers, BMX bikers, adaptive cyclists, youth, and young adults, and is envisioned to include progressive features, challenge elements and alternate lines, that encourage users to grow their skills safely.
A community process has begun in order to engage the bike community to inform a conceptual design for the project. The initial round of public outreach took place in Spring, 2022. It involved a focus group, community questionnaire, and workshop, along with public comments shared via email and phone. The initial round of feedback has been synthesized and is being translated into two conceptual design alternatives to be shared with the community on September 29, 2022, at 6:30pm.
The conceptual design determined through this process can be used as a basis for future phases which include: funding, design, construction, programming, and ongoing management.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The City of Berkeley seeks to establish a conceptual design for a bike park between University Avenue and the San Francisco Bay Trail, between Frontage Road and Marina Boulevard. A bike park in this location would become a part of the gateway to the Waterfront. It should be a model for inclusivity, healthy activity, and fun as a part of the overall Waterfront experience.The conceptual design should serve for mountain bikers, BMX bikers, adaptive cyclists, youth, and young adults, and is envisioned to include progressive features, challenge elements and alternate lines, that encourage users to grow their skills safely.

What about regular old bike riders like me? I ride my bike to go to the store or the library or just to get out of the house. I demand inclusion.
